Coinbase Global收购了世界上最大的比特币和以太选项平台Deribit，价格为$ 2.9B

该交易（如果最终确定）将标志着加密货币历史上最大的收购之一，大大扩大了Coinbase的衍生产品的产品。

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) is acquiring Deribit, the world’s largest bitcoin and ether options platform, for about $2.9 billion in cash and stock, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

《华尔街日报》报道，Coinbase Global（NASDAQ：COIN）正在收购世界上最大的比特币和以太币选择平台Deribit，其现金和股票约为29亿美元。

Deribit’s options trade has an 85% market share in bitcoin, and the platform reported $1.2 trillion in trading volume for 2024.

Deribit的期权交易在比特币中拥有85％的市场份额，该平台报告了2024年的1.2万亿美元交易量。

The WSJs report comes after sources told Bloomberg last week that the deal could value Deribit at around $4 billion to $5 billion.

WSJS的报告是在消息人士上周告诉彭博社，该交易价值约为40亿至50亿美元之后。

Both firms have informed regulators in Dubai, where Deribit holds its license, according to the report.

该报告称，两家公司都向迪拜的监管机构告知了Deribit拥有其许可证的监管机构。

The acquisition will expand Coinbase’s derivatives offerings and bolster its competitive edge against rivals such as Binance and Bybit as they tap into surging demand for crypto derivatives.

此次收购将扩大Coinbase的衍生产品的产品，并在竞争对手（例如Binance and Bybit）中加强其竞争优势，因为它们利用了对加密衍生物的需求飙升。

Deribit’s Dubai license also aligns with Coinbase’s strategy to expand into crypto-friendly markets in the Middle East.

Deribit的迪拜许可证也与Coinbase的战略相吻合，该战略将扩展到中东的加密友好型市场。

“Deribit’s strengths in direct professional client engagement and execution within the sizable global crypto derivatives markets will complement Coinbase’s own footprint,” Coinbase said in its blog post.

Coinbase在其博客文章中说：“ Deribit在全球庞大的加密衍生品市场中的直接专业客户参与和执行方面的优势将补充Coinbase自己的足迹。”
